I think the thing I'm most concerned about is converting my videos.
It was a nightmare when I got the X1, converting all of my videos to fill the whole screen, getting the quality right, etc.
With it's slightly unusual resolution, I'm a bit worried about videos looking a bit too stretched.
If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know!

Media Go app from SE site will automatically convert it to fit Aino. Not the fastest conversion but does it well
for those wondering, retail unit does have a torch app.
lastly, to all, i am withdrawing my promise of a review... ive decided to sell the phone. dont ask why, i think i want the x2, or something else. i may even wait to later batches of production. used it for less than a day so i probably cant answer too many q's. im sure mr lou will answer all your q's. he has also posted a short review

i have tried Media Go with a C905...
the video Quality is SUPERB.... but converted videos have the maximum framerate of 15 which is very unpleasant...
i don't know if it goes for higher framerates for the Aino..
i have tried to achieve the same quality with several apps... but with no luck!!!

Nonsense. Once I converted a whole episode of House and the quality was crystal clear with maximum fps. The audio was very good as well.

I'll definitely have to try the Media Go application later on then, sounds good.

@>500: Have you had problems mounting the phone as a flash drive? I doesn't mount anything for me on my Ubuntu Linux PC, and neither at my Windows PC at work. Nothing happens. Does it work with you?
(Go to Settings -> Connections -> USB -> Standard mode and choose the USB Flash thingy)

Is there something wrong with the phone? Why do you want to wait for latter production models? Please post your views so that potential buyers like us can decide.

Some video-recording comparing, Nokia N82 vs SE Aino
http://dewfall.dk/N82vsAINO/
Some things I notice:
- Max framerate I can achieve with Aino seems to be 19 fps according to the Totem video player in Ubuntu. But I don't think it measures correctly.
- Movement on the Aino is kinda chunky (and even more so if I enable stabilizer), while the N82 gives smooth movement
- Aino has better colors when it's bright. N82 tends to give brownish colors, which I've also noticed on earlier videos I've recorded with N82
- N82 does a good job indoors, while Aino gives me a dark useless video with flicker. Aino is worthless when it comes to indoor video-recording. Sure, you can turn on the spotlight, but who wants that in his face?
- N82 gives almost twice the filesize, most probably because of better quality + higher framerate

So at the moment Aino is far from entertainment unlimited.

I hope SE to fix some of the problems in future updates.
The Nokia's video examples have around 28 fps, but the Aino's videos have 24 fps, which is quite well. Just like a TV. This is what KMPlayer says.
